The GOP caucus needs to choose the Mayor/chair in the context of choosing its overall leadership team.

My thoughts on who is best suited to lead the two most important committees:

Budget: SCHRUMM

Personnel: RUOCCO(the Personnel chair will be the lead man for dealing with the TM, DPW, and CPD messes).

Which leaves as the best candidates forMayor/Chair: SIMA, SLOCUM, or GIDDINGS

As I said previously, I think the Mayor/Chair needs to be a facilitator and 'positive' public face for the town and party, more than an 'activist'.

Schrumm is better suited to be Budget chair, and White is better suited to be the pointman on energy, performance contracting, and solving the pool, and to make significant contributions to Budget & Personnel.

I agree with the criteria presented by RTC Member, above, and also that Anne G is probably not ready to be Chair.

Either Jimmy Sima or Tim Slocum should be Chair. They are not controversial, and either would present the best public face for the party. Both are decent, honest, and approachable straight shooters.

So which one of these “nice guys” should be Chair? The next thing I’d look for is: which one will also be able to play hardball in reining in the TM, firing Zullo, and dealing with Michelangelo and the PD situation?

Local Non-Profit organizations, violated the IRS code for 501(C)3 organizations; they committed a criminal offense and should lose their tax exemption. They should not apologize to the public but should notify the IRS of what they did; and ask to be given another chance. We the Taxpayers are paying for their illegal endorsement of political candidates for office. Why aren’t town officials, the town clerk, and election officials reporting this complete disregard to the IRS?

I'm not sure its the job of town officials to report these violations to the IRS, but Im sure any citizen can report it. Just be prepared to give your name and provide the proof (copies of their partisan endorsements) when you write or call.

To 7:15 hatred is what got the human race most things in this world like the united states of america civil rights womens right to vote hatred of evil wrongs against humanity sometimes hatred is good even the bible says there is a time for love and a time for hate.

it wasn't all the people that is why. the republicans called people on the phone and scared them they told them lies and distorted the truth that is what the gop does all the time lies and distortion every word that comes out of this town councils mouth will be scrutinzed

To GOP HATER: Council meetings are not well attended except when something pertains to sports or teachers. So, it will be the same when the GOP taker their seats. Everybody comes out of the woodwork for their own special agendas. Let's hope that many more people will pay attention to what is going on and start to attend and watch on TV. Let your voices be heard!!.
